Maybe she was being overly concise in her response just to make a point but I don't think she was being evasive. Russia and Alaska are neighbors. There are similar reasons why the involvement between the state of Texas or New Mexico with the Country of Mexico are significant for the Governors of those states, that we all take for granted. Likewise there are various reasons why Alaska has a relationship with Russia that is different than say Missouri's relationship with Russia or even specifically different, in some cases, than the relationship between our country and Russia. She probably assumed it would be a comment that could stand without explanation when she made it. Since it became a source of humor she has elaborated a bit. Russia is the closest to having a Superpower military comparable to the US and Alaska is the closest US region that could be impacted by Russian/USA military activity in the Air or Sea. Fishing and tourism are economies held to some extent in common. And Alaska has trade missions involving Russia to name a few.
